Pros and cons

What we like

  • 18 months of pages carry the planning into the following year
  • Desk format keeps dates in view without opening anything
  • Neutral enough for any coworker, whatever their taste
  • Practical item that gets used rather than stored

What may bother

  • Dated, so it cannot be reused once the 18 months are over
  • Plain item with no personal touch or humor
  • Takes up desk space that some people want clear

Our verdict

83 / 100

This is the dependable pick for an office exchange where nobody knows the recipient well. It earns its place by being used every day for a year and a half. Look elsewhere if you want something memorable or if the recipient lives entirely on a digital calendar.

How we score

The CTG score out of 100 is the weighted average of five criteria rated for every product: proven reliability (36%), perceived value (18%), bond and memory (18%), originality (14%) and novelty (14%). Each criterion has its own published scale, identical for every product: it rates generously, because every product in our selection is already good. The score does not depend on the guide. 60 to 69: average gift. 70 to 77: good pick. 78 to 85: safe bet. 86 to 89: favorite. 90 and above: the perfect gift, a label reserved for excellent products that customers like, one winner per occasion. In a guide, the score for the recipient combines this score with the place in the ranking. The budget is an indicative range: the exact price is shown by the store at checkout.
